It was a long time ago

Where the snowy winds blow

In the land of the midnight sun

In a storm sailed a viking ship

On a vast and long trip

The adventure had just begun

They were cold men of steel

With their swords and their shields

Tungur knivur - heavy knife - tung kniv

There was thunder at the edge of the world

Tungur knivur - pay the price - tung kniv

Out to plunder with blades of steel

On the shore stood a warrior

His eyes are blue and sore

The only one to make it home

His soul was black as the raven

Dark sinde the day when

His wounds had turned his heart to stone

He was strong without fear

Hear a sound so clear

Tungur knivur - heavy knife - tung kniv

There was thunder at the edge of the world

Tungur knivur - pay the price - tung kniv

Out to plunder with blades of steel

Looking back at what was then

It was bravery of men

But time was bound to change everything

They would burn upon the cross

Branded by a sacred cause

Icon shadows turned to dust

Tungur knivur - heavy knife - tung kniv

There was thunder at the edge of the world

Tungur knivur - pay the price - tung kniv

Out to plunder with blades of steel
